(Who says necromancers are all bony, sinister villains? She's clearly an upbeat, chubby "buff" mage!)
Bai Yu is 170 centimeters tall and weighs 170 jin, and has never thought of herself as fat.
Ever since she was trapped alone in an elevator for three days at the age of five, she's kept food close at hand. Only the extra flesh on her body gives her an endless sense of security.
And ever since she was rescued from the pitch-black elevator shaft, she's been able to see things other people can't. So her backpack has never contained lipstick, a mirror, or a small towel... Instead, it holds a rope, a flashlight, a lighter... and chocolate.
When a tour bus plunged off a cliff and all the passengers came out unharmed, she felt that Heaven still looked out for her. She figured that, with the wilderness survival skills she'd picked up from books, she could lead everyone through until the rescue team arrived.
But... magic talent? Martial arts talent? She had neither.
As she watched the passengers get snapped up by the various sects, she sat there, round and useless, feeling like a total waste... and started to panic!
Helpless, Bai Yu looked at the eager ghosts around her. All she could do was pack up and head to the mass burial ground to make do for a few days...
She had no idea this was only the first step into the world of the dead!
Little Scene:
In the back row of a bus, a middle-aged man in a floral shirt scrolled through a web novel on his phone, his beady eyes repeatedly darting toward the high school girl in a short skirt standing in the aisle with earphones in.
Those legs are so fair and tender. She's got a seat but would rather stand. Doesn't she just want people looking at her? I'll ask when she gets off if she'd do it for a hundred. A girl like that, sixty should be enough. Eighty, no more than that. The man in the floral shirt swallowed and calculated in his head.
Meanwhile, the high school girl standing in the aisle, dressed in a nonconformist style, impatiently chewed her gum. When are we getting to the stop? That bookworm who looked like a creep had an empty seat but insisted on sitting next to her, and he kept sneaking looks at her bag. What a lousy pickpocket, can't even do his job properly?
At that moment, a boy of about eight or nine, riding with the woman seated in the middle, mischievously stuck his chewed gum to the backrest behind Bai Yu, waiting for her to lean back against it while she shyly admired the profile of the upperclassman reading in the row ahead. His mother made no attempt to correct him.
An elderly couple sitting at the front had witnessed the whole thing. Both frowned, thinking: The world sure has changed.
